Bat-O-Lanterns

Bat-o'-Lanterns

Looking for a new Halloween craft - LOVE these!!

1 - Paint the pumpkin black.
2 - Cut two identical eyes from white craft foam.  Use a hole punch to make the pupils.  Adhere the eyes to the pumpkin with glue dots.
3 - Cut matching pairs of ears and wings from black craft foam (wings are about six inches long).  Attach the ears by taping a toothpick to the back of each one, leaving about an inch of the toothpick exposed, then insert the toothpick into the top of the pumpkin.  Hint - Use black duct tape to hide the toothpick.
4. Tape a skewer to the back of each wing, leaving about two inches of the skewer exposed, push into the pumpkin into the sides of pumpkin.

Okay. Here I am a day late & a dollar short, as usual. Those are adorable! If it wasn't almost Thanksgiving, I'd be thinking about making some of those!!

I am also known for doing "Pumpkin Bowling". You use the little pumpkins or gourds & set-up bowling pins with "Kool-Aid Bursts". Then they get to keep a Kool-Aid when they're done.

Better late than never?!
